GWT: PL Matchweek (mostly) 30

[spintheblackcircle]

He's now tied with Defoe with 162, 1 behind Fowler for 7th.

13 more to tie Henry

Fowler played before I started watching football, who is a decent comparison to a current player?

 

[Chimaera]

That's not a great form, not even a good form, that's a bad form, for a squad that tries to finish top3, top 4 at least.

That’s my point. I’d say people are close to a broken clock. But that would be half more right than reality.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Should be 2-2

That’s a red card or should be on jonjo.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Spurs’d

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Lo Celso blundering away that golden counter-attack chance only for Newcastle to score immediately afterwards. Certainly a very Spurs sequence.

 

[hatterson]

I love how the announcers spent 45 seconds building up how amazing Bale’s FK was going to be and then he blasts it 20 yards over goal.

 

[Chris P Bacon]

Yep. Ball has to be played to Son.

Lamela but that defence acting like a bunch of idiots is way more to blame.

bale what a shot. I’m shocked that a player who’s been on the bench for 87 mins takes that kind of shot. Amazing decision to let him shoot.

 

[Savant]

Hard to complain but Newcastle should have won that.

I just knew it wasn't Kane or Son so took a guess. Lamela played that pretty damn badly though, the fact Kane actually still got some sort of end product out of it says more about how good Kane can be. Kane isn't much worse than Lewandowski but his career will remain mostly silverware-free thanks to the baffling decision of wasting away his career at White Hart Lane.

I think its a fair result. Spurs had their chances too.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

I can't overstate how awful Sanchez is.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Ya he was brutal today. Never seen him excel.

 

[hatterson]

The more replays I see of that second Newcastle goal the more hilarious Sanchez’s defending becomes.

 

[Savant]

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Why even watch the game these numbers will do the thinking for us?

Doublepost

I watched. Think the eye test meets the number test here. Both teams had chances but I thought Newcastle played better. Just adding context.
This too.



Same with Arsenal yesterday. xG was 0.09 and that might have been too high for them.

It's like watching Jack Johnson play defense, I find myself thinking, "Why is he OUT there!?!?!" a half dozen times a match

Spurs could've easily had 2 more goals... I'm not seeing where Newcastle would've had 3 more.

What’s the over/under on number of posts Brighton hits today? 4.5?

 

[hatterson]

Anyway, suppose the news for United is that De Gea is back and healthy but Henderson stays in net.

Henderson has been really good

First half or 2nd?

 

[hatterson]

Henderson has been really good

I’ve wanted Henderson to be the #1 pretty much the whole year, so I’m happy. Still a bit of a surprise to see.

He needs a strong run of games to really cement himself though. It’s one thing to play solid when De Gea is in Spain (and he has), it’s another to do it when he’s sitting on the bench ready to come in.
